Hi Peter
If there are hard-coded paths please patch the sources to obtain a build
without dependencies toward SUN provided headers and/or libraries.
In a perfect world you are right. Unfortunatly some program do have too
much things to fix (Firefox to give only example). Autotools stuff are
adding include and link path to Sun's X11 (both -L and -R) even if i
patch .in files... thus i have to repatch after configure step :( That's
pretty painful... so i was wondering if the simpliest solution was not
to remove Sun devel packages.
When a program is failing to compile (like FF 3.0.13), then it's ok and
easy to fix it. But i'm worried about programs that compiles using both
Sun's and OpenCSW headers and lib. Such a mix does not necessarily
improve reliability of the binaries produced... and there are not always
a simple way to detect such cases
cheers
W.
